whats the proper ph level?
 
I just started growing..just got some nutrients and a ph test kit whats next? most of the seeds are still germinating should i add the nutrients now or wait until i have more growth? the nutrients that I bought is Schultz 10-15-10 w/t micro nutes and also boughts some superthirve. I need some advice plz.

You don't need to add any nutrients to germinating seeds. Once they get big enough, I would use a diluted nutrient solution (about 1/4 to 1/3 max). What type of seeds are you germinating? What type of system are you planing on putting them into when they get big enough? The pH requirements vary from plant to plant, but generally 5.5 to 6.5 is fine for most plants. In which case I would aim for 6.0 so it can fluctuate.

re: system and vegies
 
Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, onions, and green beans, I'll be using a bucket w/t bottom sprayers.

lol you sound like me! dont rush in to add nutrients. let those seeds germinate properly. all they need right now is enough light and water and once they are like few inches big, you need to place in hydroponics growing medium. I use the coco coir and works great. Afterwhich you could start adding the nutes to the plants. check out some youtube videos. they'll give you better idea.:)
